BALTIMORE — Maryland transportation leaders on Thursday approved a contract for rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge several months after the 1.6-mile steel spanand estimated the project would cost $1.7 billion and would include significantly more pier protection to better defend against future wayward ships.
“This really represents such an order of magnitude bigger than all our previous milestones,” he said in an interview Thursday. He said the agency hopes to release renderings of a preliminary design within the next few months, which will give the public an idea of what the new bridge will look like. In announcing their recommendation to the board, state transportation officials said the company’s proposal was ranked first for its technical contents despite being somewhat more expensive than others.
Officials have said the new bridge will be somewhat taller than the old one to accommodate ever-larger ships entering Baltimore’s harbor. The original Key Bridge took five years to construct and opened in 1977. Officials have said they expect that federal taxpayers will eventually be made whole for replacing the bridge through insurance payouts and damages, but that may take a while.The Tories Oppose Labour's Plan To Extend The Smoking Ban - But Last Year They Wanted To Make It Completely IllegalSherrone Moore starts new era, leading defending champion and No. 9 Michigan against Fresno State
